Absolute Resilience for Automation is designed to shorten the gap between when a vulnerability is disclosed and when your endpoints are actually protected.

Today, threat actors typically need only about 5 days to weaponize newly disclosed vulnerabilities, while the average organization takes around 77 days to fully remediate them via patching. That gap is where risk accumulates. Absolute helps you close it by combining:

• Real-time visibility across all devices (health, compliance, OS state, agent presence) so you can see where you’re exposed, including remote and hybrid endpoints.
• Automated vulnerability and misconfiguration scanning for OS, software, authorization issues, weak passwords, disabled firewalls or BitLocker, open ports, outdated antivirus, and more.
• Pre-built remediation workflows from an extensive library that you can run “at the push of a button” to quickly secure devices.
• Custom workflows with no coding using a visual workflow builder, so you can create multi-step remediations that execute directly on the endpoint.
• Policy-driven self-healing that detects behavioral or state changes in real time and automatically triggers remediation to harden endpoints.

All of this is orchestrated from the cloud-based Absolute Console and powered by Absolute Persistence technology, which is embedded in the firmware of more than 600 million devices. That always-on connection helps ensure you’re not relying on sporadic check-ins or manual effort to keep endpoints secure.

Absolute Resilience for Automation is built to address a broad set of endpoint risks, not just OS patches. It helps you identify and remediate:

• Unpatched and outdated software
  Known security flaws in operating systems and applications that haven’t been updated, including OS, third-party software, firmware, and drivers.
• Poor password and account practices
  Weak or reused passwords and user account misconfigurations that make it easier for attackers to gain access.
• Misconfigured security settings
  Improper network settings, firewall rules, and open ports that create unnecessary openings into your environment.
• Weak endpoint protection posture
  Issues such as disabled firewalls or BitLocker, outdated antivirus or definitions, and the presence of unwanted software like crypto mining tools.
• General OS and security vulnerabilities
  Authorization issues and other configuration gaps that increase your attack surface.

To address these, Absolute provides:

• Automated patching with unified assessment of patch health and automatic detection and deployment of required updates.
• Thousands of remediation workflows for existing vulnerabilities, with new content appearing in the console typically within 24 hours or less of being published.
• Custom risk scoring so you can prioritize remediation based on your business context rather than treating all issues the same.

The result is a more proactive, automated way to reduce your attack surface instead of chasing issues one by one.

Absolute Resilience for Automation is designed to help teams do more with less by automating routine security and operations work and giving you accurate, real-time data to act on.

Key ways it reduces workload and improves outcomes:

• Continuous visibility and compliance
  Always-on insight into OS and security vulnerabilities across distributed devices, plus a compliance reporting suite aligned to common security frameworks and data regulations. This supports faster audit readiness and helps validate cyber insurance and regulatory requirements.
• Automation instead of manual effort
  Intelligent workflows and self-healing policies reduce the mean time to respond to vulnerabilities, limiting the window for threat actors and cutting down repetitive tasks for your team.
• Combined patch and vulnerability management
  Live, real-time data drives both patching and broader security remediation from a single platform, so you’re not juggling multiple tools.
• Remote troubleshooting and control
  Tools like File Browser, Event Viewer, WMI Explorer, Remote Registry, PowerShell Console, and Log Viewer let you resolve user issues and security problems without being physically present, minimizing downtime.
• API-driven integration
  APIs for patching, vulnerability remediation, and automated workflows help you align IT and SecOps processes and integrate Absolute into your existing ecosystem.

For medium and large organizations, this translates into a reduced attack surface without needing to hire additional specialized staff, higher productivity through automation, and more seamless risk management that supports ongoing business operations.
